A prevent defense generally does the job because it keeps everything in front of you. Blitzing and taking risks with the game on the line is generally a good way to lose. People should remember this game the next time they bitch about a prevent defense.

The problem is how often teams go into prevent with more than two minutes on the clock and a one score lead. I don't think the Saints should have gone into prevent;they should have gone into zone.
